Cedar Lee Theatre hosts Donkey Kong contest

The Cedar Lee Theatre in Cleveland Heights wants to crown its own Donkey Kong video game champ in conjunction with the new documentary, "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters."

The film, which opens Friday, follows a Donkey Kong challenge between a businessman and a teacher for the world-record score.

The theater will hold its own Donkey Kong contest at 7 p.m. Friday. The first seven people to register online will compete in a classic Donkey Kong game played on a Nintendo Wii and projected onto the big screen.

High score after three minutes of play wins. Top prize is free admission to the 7:30 p.m. screening of "The King of Kong" and free concessions for the night up to $15, excluding beer and wine.
